In this session, the goal was to introduce staff to using Wikis and have a little fun as well. The short video "Wiki Man" embedded below was a useful segue for debunking the misunderstanding surrounding Wikipedia. The focus was on WHY & HOW you would use Wiki as an instructional tool and not so much on the ins and outs of editing. I shared how I used Wiki in my classroom as
well as several resources for folks to investigate on their own. I know at least one participant is planning to use Wiki next year in his creative writing course. Victory!
